PRAISE FOR REALISM & OTHER ILLUSIONS
Kennedy is a great teacher; he gives examples, he speaks directly, and he addresses the issues that matter most.
— Michael Pastore, Editorial Director of ePublisher’s Weekly
Here’s a book any writer or aspiring one can profit from...Kennedy covers the craft of fiction from theoretical to practical with an authority derived from his own considerable achievements as a fiction writer.
— Gordon Weaver, author of Long Odds, Four Decades
Realism & Other Illusions is a wise and eloquent book about the writer’s calling by master story-teller, Thomas E. Kennedy — it also generously instructs new writers in the art of reading and writing fiction.
— Pamela Painter, co-author of What If? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers
This is one of the most entertaining and thought-provoking books I’ve read in a very long time. It is certainly one of the best I’ve read on the subject of creative writing, and it should, without question, be on the bookshelf of anyone who considers themselves to be serious about the craft of writing fiction.
